Student Death Likely Tied To Alcohol

There could be a deadly reminder for college students about having too much to drink.  A student died early Friday morning at a community college in southeast Kansas.

Coffeyville Community College says the student, Austin Slanker-Wilson of Wellington, Kansas, was attending CCC on an agriculture scholarship.

His death comes one day after the start of classes for the fall semester. 

The Coffeyville Police Department is investigating Slanker-Wilson's death, but it appears alcohol may have been a contributing factor. 

Counseling services are available to all students, faculty and staff as needed.
